connectPolicy

Sets the connectPolicy attribute string that represents the connection
policies in effect on a station. A connection’s type is defined by the types
of the two ports involved in the connection.

Valid Minimum Abbreviation

fd station c

Important Considerations

Port types can be A, B, M, or S.

The system FDDI ports are type A or type B for Dual Attachment
Station (DAS) ports and type M for Single Attachment Station (SAS)
ports.

By default, all connections to the system ports are valid. M-M
connections are accepted so that one CoreBuilder

®

3500 port can be

connected to another system port.
